Blue Star, Viking, Wolf, Thermador, DCS - all are about the same price. As far as I can tell, when you add cooktop and ovens separately they are about the same price as a full range. OTOH, I did see a "commercial" 60" with way too many burners but two full-size ovens at $7000 (can't recall the brand). Check local restaurant supply stores for used commercial ranges. You might find a real bargain.

Do you need two ovens? Is a 36" single-oven good enough?

If you want to join the realm of dreamers, consider an Aga. I know a couple of people that have spent their whole lives trying to make enough money to buy an Aga and a kitchen worth putting it in: http://www.agamarvel.com/aga/ The secret is that the Aga employs a constant heat source, directing it so that the various "burners" and ovens are customized for different uses. I've never cooked on one, but I sure would like to.
